Crkva Sv.Eufemije
Eufemija je bila djevojka iz Grčke, u 3. stoljeću, koja se preobratila na kršćanstvo. Prema starom vjerovanju, postala je mučenicom cara Dioklecijana pošto je propovijedala vjeru koja tada nije bila prihvaćena. Time potican, Dioklecijan ju je bacio među lavove na milost i nemilost, no ona biva spašena silaskom anđela sa neba, bez ijednog ugriza. Ovim čudom Eufemija je nakon svoje smrti, koja je, prozavana sveticom i mučenicom kršćanstva. Njezine relikvije čuvale su se u različitim zemljama u različito vrijeme. Ovdje nastaje druga legenda o čudu, iz 18. Stoljeća, koja nam govori kako je njen teški kameni sarkofag zajedno sa relikvijama, morem od Carigrada doplovio do grada Rovinja, gdje su ga njegovi stanovnici pomoću životinja odvukli na mjesto tadašnje crkve Svetog Jurja, koja postaje Eufremijinim hramom i vječnim počivalištem vidljivim i danas. Sveta Eufemija je također i zaštitnica grada Rovinja, čiji se dan obilježava 16. rujna. Mnogi posjetitelji upravo tada dolaze u Rovinj, na sveto hodočašće kako bi joj odali počast.

As a firm believer i went on a holy pilgrimage to pay their respect. I was amused to learn the history of a girl who became a martyr because she preached a faith that was not acceptable at that time. It was thrilling to witness how congregants were dedicated in honoring their beliefs and culture. Personally, i enjoyed looking at the beautiful artwork. It was an incredible experience.
